Engines. Excellent as ever.
On 11 January 2000 a submission was made to Deputy Chief Executive of DPA (now part of DE&S). It broke down the entire process into the roles of each post holder; then the current status. Not one single function was carried out properly. Some were fragmented, many not done at all. DCE did not reply or do anything. Mr David Gould if you're wondering.
Don't hold your breath about CDM. He was tasked in January 2011 by Minister for the Armed Forces, Nick Harvey, to respond to formal proposals that would have resurrected the functions. He did nothing and, because convention dictates new Ministers don't (officially) know what went on under their predecessors, he was allowed to get away with it because Harvey left post. This is what makes any campaign difficult. The continuity is in the media and they can be your friend if you find the right trigger. Gambling with the lives of 16 year olds could do it. Try the Guardian (Norton-Taylor), Independent (Owen) (edit - sorry, he's now freelance) or Sunday Times Insight (Calvert). Don't go into too much detail. 1. Mention Nimrod Review and poor safety case. 2. It's got worse, as there isn't one for gliders. 3. The gamble. Best of luck.
